Gluten-Free Restaurants near Colonie, NY

“My friend Michele and I decided to go to the Barnsider earlier this evening because we were in the area visiting her parents grave. I ordered the 10oz scallops and Michele ordered the 10oz steak, both were absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! We were both about half to three quarters into eating our dinners. Suddenly I noticed a concerned look on Michele's face and asked her if she was alright. When she struggled to answer me, I knew she was in trouble and quickly got up from my chair and helped her up and got behind her to administer the Himelick maneuver that I've never tried or had any training for. After a couple of attempt's, I panicked and turned to find help at the nearby check-in desk and asked if anyone knew how to do the Himelick maneuver to save my good friend Michele and for a few moments it was obvious that no one knew, that is until an employee came back from seating some customers and witnessed what was going on and immediately got behind Michele and may have saved her life in a matter of seconds. I regret I did not get her name, but I think she may have been the person in charge this night at that position from what I could tell because our table was very close to the desk. Michele and I can't thank her enough for heroic response to save the life of someone in an emergency situation! By the way, she mentioned she took an EMT class 10 years ago but has never had to use her training in any situations. Now she has, and thank God or maybe...thank one or both of Michele's parents that we just visited at the cemetery just prior to going to the Barnsider for dinner, and maybe, they made sure there was an Angel working that would protect their daughter. Thank You again from the bottom of our hearts!!“

“A modest little Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu and very tasty offerings, Pho Yum is tucked into the corner of an anonymous strip mall on a busy 4 lanes highway. The automated tablet based menu, plastic utensils and paper table ware may be off-putting, but the charming help, the rich Pho soups and interesting selection of spring, summer and autumn rolls are definitely worth the visit.“

“This morning my GF 14 year old grandson had 2 full sized donuts and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich from here. His review: “If I get to choose my last meal, this would be it. “ ❤️“

“Always awesome food. Me and my fiancé stopped by before a show last night and I got the Buffmac Crunchwrap and I need more of those in my life. Will always be back to put a checklist next to everything on the menu.“

“🍰 Mouth watering!
**** Customer Service was warm and friendly **** 💓

Was able to catch them at the Famous Food Festival. I tried the coconut rum cake. I just have to say… I regret not buying more. Amazing cakes!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on more lol“

“This place had great food and great service! Delicious butter chicken and chicken tikka! Thank you“

“Ended up here on a random Thursday and splurged! We got coconut macaroons, several different cookies in different flavors, tres leches cupcakes and cannolis. Spent less than $25 on EVERYTHING which was shocking. Will probably be stopping here weekly at this point. Everything was DELICIOUS and affordable !“

“Friendly service. The food exceeded our expectations, it was delicious from appetizers to desserts. the hand crafted sauces are definitely a highlight. the food doesn't need sauces, but they definitely add a nice pop of flavor. we had : Yuca frita Arepitas con queso guda Arepa Pernil Cachapa Carne Mechada Quesillo de coco Crème Brulè cheescake Mango juice and a pineapple soda“

“As someone still returning even 15 years later- I've lived around the capital region and I can say with certainty that no other cafe gets me to leave smiling like Ambition does! Always consistent with their quality for food and drink, they never disappoint! Staff is always friendly and kind - they are very meticulous about their service! Ive gone here for my birthday, my partners birthday, and other celebrations as it's always a treat to dine here. Would definitely recommend this lovely establishment to anyone wanting to try some good food from Schenectady!“

“Stopped by today as I was visiting the area. I had the cream puff and it was by far the best gluten free pastry I have ever had 💜 I wish I would have bought a few more. Definitely will stop by again when passing through.“

“Great place to get a quick dinner to take home. I usually get their pizza special buy 2 slices and get free canned drink for $7 ( which is excellent with a lot of choices) but decided to get subs for the first time. I got Italian mix for myself and Turkey for bf. $10.99 each footlong. We usually get Mr Subb or Subway but these were as good if not better! Will definitely be getting subs there again.“

“Better than ever, great menu, excellent staff“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“Thank you for making the best wedding cake for my daughter's wedding. It was absolutely the best cake we ALL ever had. So many people complimented on the cake and wanted to know where we got the cake from. It really was the best cake we ever had!!“

“Cute place, delicious food. We sat outside but it’s a casual place with a/c if you prefer indoors. Would be great for take out.

We shared a poké bowl (the River Street bowl with brown rice) and it was a generous portion for 2 for lunch. Every topping was fresh and delicious, great avocado, creamy bang bang style sauce to die for, and the shrimp and crab as the protein tasted fresh and delicious. We will be back.“

“everything is so tasty here! I recommend everything at this bakery!“

“Food is amazing! Also the employees are very nice! Thanks for all you do!!“

“This place is one of best poke places I ever been too! The fish and seaweed salad tastes so delicious and fresh! Doesn’t have a fishy taste! The 518 burrito o (sushi burrito), wontons and dumplings are so good as well! I love this place! The employees are very nice as well! The restaurant has a very nice ambiance and I am very pleased of how clean the restaurant is!! Thank you poke bar! 😊
Excellent service, Juliana.“

“My husband and I went there this evening for Valentines dinner. We have been there for her amazing breakfasts and have ordered her take out pot pies and WOW, we were not disappointed with our amazing dinner. I had the Eggplant and my husband had the Filet. Warm and cozy atmosphere- just perfect!!“

“We went with our friends for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice. Our server Steven is very sweet snd attentive. He helped us with food and drink recommendation. The food he recommended are all very delicious. We love the lettuce wrap, garlic noodle, firecracker shrimp especially the new item black pepper mignon steak.“

“Excellent smoothies & very affordable! Great for this heat!! The bowls are really good too!“

“Party of five, tried all entrees. Everything tasted amazing. Great job Chef Tom.“

“An ideal setting for client dinners. Refined atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and attentive service.“

“I've been here many of times and each time is a slightly different expirience. I have been on my lunch break, ans I have been with friends. When I tell them I am on break, they make sure to get my order out to me quicker. They have the best PB&J smoothie, and their waffles are the best. I just dont like the nibs on there. They are very bitter for my taste. Other than that, they have a great atmosphere, the staff is kind, and they are very accommodating.“

“I enjoyed a great meal. the staff was friendly“

“Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!“

“I just discovered this place, the one on Albany Shaker Rd. Wow. Freshest fish and ingredients, wonderful customer service, deliciously healthy. I'll be here often. Highly recommend.“

“first time visiting. the food was outstanding. Had the Vermont turkey sandwich and the Rachel. Debby the cashier was great. So helpful and patience with us. she made us feel so welcome. we will be back. Not just because of the great food. But also because of Debby.“

“I have become a BIG fan of BARE Blends. I've tried several smoothie blends and a couple Acai bowls as well and they are all excellent. The dolce and berry detox have been my main go-to smoothies. Staff are always cordial and they work quickly to prepare orders for customers...very impressive. My one suggestion is that BARE Blends consider using sturdier straws or tops that don't excessively squeeze or shred the straw! I will be a regular customer at this great place.“

“Ordered our birthday party pizzas here for the 5th year in a row and always a crowd pleaser, even amongst our NYC/Long Island guests. Perfect pizzas every time! Preordered through the website and always got & ready right on time. You guys are the best!“

“We went to Milanos for the first time today, and we’re never going back. To say that the service was terrible would be an understatement. Ordered a large pizza and watched it sit there on the counter getting cold because the server was MIA. I was going to walk over there and pick it up myself, but I flagged down the other server who did it for me. Same thing when I asked for the check. I could see if the place was busy and they were understaffed, they weren’t. As far as the food goes, mediocre at best. The “large” pizza was actually small and we left there hungry. We should have eaten at the burger place a few doors down.“

“Since we lost our favorite place in the last year.
We stopped in a week ago,
what a wonderful place.
I miss NYC and Hong Kong.
But to have this local.
Thank goodness.
Place an order have a grand chat with the lovely lady (sorry we did not exchange names) at the bar. Have delicious food was a surprise.
This is our new go to, luncheon has grand discounts to eat later. It made me lonesome for Hong Kong.“
